SHOWS
TO-DAY, if a man does something pretentious and
deliberate
let him
show it to the crowd, probably they will applaud
and anyhow they can’t do any
hurt.
But if he
produces something beautiful, with the frail beauty
of life
let him hide it away, so it can
go on blossoming.
If
he show it, the eyes and the breath of the crowd
will defile it, and spoil its
beauty.
Even the
very flowers, in the shops or parks
are deflowered by being looked at by so many
unclean eyes.
